Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya, Turkey's minister of family, was prevented from entering Rotterdam's Turkish consulate and taken to the German border by Dutch police, after she was prevented leading a rally of ex-pats who support expanding President Erdoğan's powers.

On Twitter, one Turkish account holder described the act as a "mission completed" against "fascist Netherlands", while another user describe it as "an act of war".

Around 1,000 people gathered to protest the decision outside of the Turkish consulate in the Netherlands on Saturday (11 March). Dutch riot police used water cannon and mounted police to drive the group away.

Speaking about the extradition on Twitter, Kaya said: "The world must take a stance in the name of democracy against this fascist act! This behaviour against a female minister can never be accepted."
